I don’t think anybody except those working with e.g. DO-178B or ISO26262 does BDUF. Iterative processes are state of the art. The RUP iterative lifecycle illustrates this nicely, w…

No part of your list was just a detail, but all parts of the list consist of essential properties and details. As I said, many of those details will fall into place when one starts…

Getting everyone to understand the problems, working together, etc, etc are issues that are inherent to organisations. They’re orthogonal to AI and to the actual hard technical ski…

The software world has an abundance of mediocre coders that just happen to be good at writing e-mails, meetings, architecture (but not really), powerpoints, navigating customer req…

No they can’t do everything before writing a line of code. The design and requirements feed into the code and vice-versa over and over through the lifecycle of a piece of software.…

Rustafarians do seem to be worried by Fil-C and for good reason. One of the top two issues with Rust is its cumbersome and overbearing syntax and anything which sidesteps that is a…

It’s trivial to publish these so that they’re both easily available and easy to understand. I’m guessing that’s not the case for the CDC, since you didn’t post any link or guidelin…

The Covid vaccine was not recommended in Germany and other EU countries for children. The risk of the vaccine was higher than the benefit for them. It think the guidance was more n…

Myocarditis-maxxies will likely never take off as an insult, but vaxmaxxer just might :) Shortness, pronunciation and simplicity all play a role. Anyway, that statement is actually…

The myocarditis as caused by e.g. Moderna was affecting teen males and you posted a link to a blog which linked to a study about 70 year old US veterans.

Yes, that was what I was talking about. It seems that bounds checking and some other checks are becoming more palatable. Perhaps C++ will start using them en masse and address the …

_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS amd many similar flags and options exist for those that want it. It is disappointing that some new features are default-unsafe but it is the C++ philosophy.

These Rust discussions typically contain grains of truth wrapped into exaggerations while downplaying or ignoring the two big issues of Rust, which are complexity and out of contro…

There’s a few things happening here. First of all, Rust is default safe. In C++ developers always trade performance for safety, in Rust they just swallow the penalty (which is ofte…

And yet with all that experience you’ve still managed to come up with a conclusion which describes the exact opposite way humanity evolved and currently lives. Good luck with your …

Yours is a good book (got both editions myself), but sadly language learning books will be hit the hardest by AI. Partly it’s what you said regarding copyright washing, but the oth…

In a student or IT worker bubble, countries are very similar. When one steps out, they’re going to get a rude awakening. Culture shock is a real phenomenon.

Even if that were the case, working in a team is very different from working solo.

One of the authors commented below that the “teams” were actually persons and the Rust person was an intern. This is even less serious than the typical pattern of grabbing random s…

Germany has the Schufa. Should be trivial to narrow down to a specific group based on name only.

All of these didn’t prevent Go from competing with Rust and I’m guessing that Fil-C will be the better choice in some cases. Rust has managed to establish itself as a player, but i…

No, UV is unrelated to your issue. First you need to figure out if it’s a surface infestation because of condensation or if it’s a constructive thermal bridge. The latter can be so…

Was it from flooding or how did it get there? How did you detect it?

ZoneAlarm, assuming it still exists, would be at least 20 years old. Back then there was also a nice ~$15 program called Net Limiter which allowed one to cap network speeds individ…

The web and web apps as pushed by Google and others was another nail in the coffin of efficient software. From Android to whatever web framework they’re peddling as development sol…
